The Rock 'N' Roll Era: 1956

Spectacular collection really makes it clear that 1956 was the year rock and roll was forged. There are some forgettable junkers on here like "Young Love," but practically every song is a revelation, a blue print for decades of rock to follow, from "Roll Over Beethoven" by Chuck Berry to "Be Bop A Lula" by Gene Vincent and "Blue Suede Shoes" by Carl Perkins. And there are intriguing one shot oddities like "The Fool" by Sanford Clark and even hard-grooving throwbacks to the Big Band era like "Honky Tonk (Part 1 and Part 2)" by Bill Doggett.

This was a CD I wanted. It played fine. I would order from this seller again if he had another CD I wanted

I'm so pleased with this CD. I'm throwing myself a birthday party (56 yrs old, born in '56) inviting a bunch of gals from the same era. We'll be eating, drinking, dressing as one would at a party in '56, (then bowling!) and I took a chance that this CD, of the many I considered, would be a perfect background for the party. I just listened to a few cuts on my Bose system. The sound quality is wonderful. You just can't help but dance with the tunes, they sound so great. Of course, these were all hits before I was old enough to appreciate them, but I've heard them over the years. It's great to own this collection. I have a feeling I'll be listening to this CD long after the party is forgotten. What fun!

Very fast shipping.

Same copy as the cassette I have.

Great product, fast shipping

Als Geschenk zum Geburtstag für einen Rock 'n Roll Fan, der 1956 geboren ist, kam die CD sehr gut an.
